Sally Kohn: I feel so incredibly blessed to have had a multitude of experiences overseas and specifically in the field of disabilities. A year ago I was fortunate to be in Ukraine and to help teachers over there learn and understand how to support their students with disabilities. In addition to that, I have received a Fulbright teaching grant to Lithuania and I will actually have the opportunity to help this university launch a program that supports their university students who happen to have disabilities. She says she's just really looking forward to helping them serve those students with disabilities Who maybe have never had somebody be able to support them in an academic environment. "I just can't wait for this experience."
Katie Bonawitz shares about disability inclusion in higher education on episode 435 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
